Legal Costs (0 Comments) (link)
 Wednesday, 9-May-2001  18:03:27 (GMT +10) - by Agg

The legal stuff is still going on in the background. There's not much more to report at the moment. I've received a lot of emails of support about the site/forums and quite a few people have offered financial assistance with the legal costs. In the past I have been reluctant to accept "donations" to the site and to be honest I'm still not 100% comfortable with it, but in this current situation I can't really afford to be pig-headed about it. My current legal costs are several thousand dollars and if the community wants to help cover that then of course I should accept it.

So, if you're in a position to help cover the legal costs and you want to, I've got details below for how you can send a few bucks along. If you can't afford it or don't want to, that's fine, I appreciate your position - this is mainly for the people who have already expressed that they want to send a little something along. I will keep a record of who has contributed but I won't publish it (yet? we can discuss that later I guess). Please don't think of this as "buying the forums back" (forums are not down for financial reasons) or as "taking them to court" (we may not end up going to court). It's just covering the cost of legal advice to this point. If there's any extra money left over it will go towards server bills past & future.

I've made a separate bank account to make tracking OCAU finances easier and you can direct deposit into that if you like:

Bank: Westpac
Branch/BSB: 032349
Account No: 175029
Account Name: Overclockers Australia

Or you can send money orders or cheques (made out to "Overclockers Australia") to:

PO BOX 207
ENMORE
NSW 2042
AUSTRALIA

I'm heading off on holidays this Thursday (eek, tomorrow night) and will be back on the 20th or so. I doubt I'll be able to get my email while I'm away, but contact manaz@overclockers.com.au if you have any questions about the site. If you want to discuss it in the meantime drop me a note at agg@overclockers.com.au - I can't provide any details about the legal side of things of course.

Thanks for your patience and support.
